WOW!Another
incredibly scientific lesson was presented in this hour.Our facilitator assures us that this will not
be the case for every week of study.Genesis is fascinating.The
timing for this aspect of the study is perfect since we are also studying
Genesis in BSF this year.

Do you subscribe to the creation taking place in six literal
days?The Stretch Factor is a fascinating
concept introduced by Dr. Gerard Schroeder that explains how creation could
have taken place in six days!We also
learned several scientific indicators that the earth is young.

One of the more fascinating things I learned this week was
regarding the words “erev” and “boker”.Several times in the creation story occurs the phrase “…and there was
evening and there was morning…”“Erev”
means “obscurity, disorder” and has come to mean “evening”.“Boker” means “orderly, discernable” and has
come to mean “morning”.So, the idea is
that there was disorder and the Lord worked to create order and the first
(second, third, etc.) day was done.

We also learned about dimensions of reality, irreducible
complexity, the laws of thermodynamics and thermal decay.This is truly a thinking man’s Bible
study.It reminds me how intelligent my
God is, and that I have the potential to be a greater thinker than I am
currently practicing.

Homework for next week is to read Genesis 4-11.I am going to start listening to “The Bible
Experience” to accomplish the Bible reading homework each week.

Jesus is the ONLY way!

No matter what anyone else tells you… Regardless of intelligence, wealth, prominence, fame, beauty or following… JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!!!!! Any questions?"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)To accept Jesus as your personal Savior and the Lord of your life, pray with me below or speak your own words. Ask forgiveness, ask Him to be Lord of your life, and say thank you for what He's done. Then contact me or seek out a Christian friend or a Pastor in a Christian church to learn more about being a Christian. Let's pray:Heavenly Father, just now I realize that I am a sinner and I need Jesus. I am sorry for my sin, and I accept the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross to wash my sin away. I invite Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. Teach me how to live for You and not sin anymore. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. I say this in Your Name. Amen.

It's Not About Me - It's About HIM!!!

I LOVE JESUS! I'm also a quirky (warped) wife and mother of two (yes, I get to warp them, also) who adores the Word of God (no joke)! After missing my "big break" as a child because I was too shy, my inner "ham" blossomed on stage throughout junior high, high school and college because of my involvement in music, speech and theater programs. I still love acting, singing and music, and I'm still a bit shy sometimes (maybe I need therapy). My family also cares for one "Big Dog" and each other.
